Hi, This is my take on the EZ-B Wall.e While I wait for my kit to arrive I thought I would share some ideas. The first step was to do the arms, I had some small servos left over from an Arduino project which will do the arms and hopefully the neck too. So far I have the arm section done, I will post as I go along and I welcome any suggestions.
This method leaves the clutch in place on the arms. It also gives around 80 of movement in his arms.
Regards

That's a neat way to setup the arms! Do those little servos have enough juice?
You could say that they pack a punch (pun intended
)
These have quite a lot of power, so much so that I have added another for the head L / R and am trying to put one in for the neck U / D.
Just not sure how long the batteries are going to last with all that I have in mind!
Need my modded servos so I can sort out his wheels, that one should be fun
bump?
You could go.for a big battery. A walle can fit a yusa 7ah batt or 6v 4.5ah battery that goes in omnibot. That would give you plenty of juice right?
I was looking at the li-po batteries from ebay, not sure what to do yet, I wanted the thing to look as little modified as possible, so basically no nailing the battery to the bottom for balance!
Anyway, I was looking for controller software for a joy pad and I found this which seems o work a treat, just used a PS3 controller to test the track mods, (until the batteries in Wall.e ran out again!)

More pictures of a first assembly to soon how much room I have inside. Not quite as much room inside for the batteries as I first thought.
Just in case the other thread does not get read I thought I would post the link to some more mp3 sounds
